HNK Šibenik is a Croatian football club based in the city of Šibenik on the Croatian coast.
The club was formed in 1932 under the name RSD Šibenik. The first president, dr. Martin Čičin-Šain, wasn't appointed until the first board meeting which was held in August the following year. They played in a stadium in the area of Crnica, next to the La Dalmatienne factory in Koprivnica. The playing field was officially opened on the 31st of May, 1936. The first matches played there was a tournament between home side Šibenik, Osvit, Split and AŠK that same year. Around the same time the first registered football club in Šibenik was also formed. This club was called Osvit and built the stadium Šubićevac.
The club played its first official league match in 1946 under the name FD Šibenik and very next year was the champion of the Dalmatia region. The club's new home ground was opened on the 1st of May 1948 and bore the name of "the people's hero" Rade Končar. Šibenik finished top of the Republic League and so were promoted to the second division for the first time in their history in 1950/51. However, they were relegated immediately and it was not until 54/55 until they were promoted again to the second division. In 1957, the club made it to the semi finals of the Jugoslavian Cup.
In 2006, the club finished first in the Croatian Second League's southern division and was promoted to the Prva HNL. The club also played in Croatian first League between 1992-2003 during 12 seasons.
In season 2009-10, HNK Šibenik finished the season on 4th position in the Prva HNL and thus qualified to play in a European competition (Europa League's first qualifying round) for the first time in club's history. It was eliminated in second round by Anorthosis Famagusta FC 2-3 on aggregate.
HNK Šibenik plays on Stadion Šubićevac (Šubićevac Stadium).
Šibenik's fans are called "Funcuti".
